While resetting a malfunction warning light at home is technically possible, doing so is not advisable.

What Does the Drivetrain Do In Your 2006 Cadillac Escalade

Your Escalade’s drivetrain has a very important job. It transmits power from the engine to the wheels. It spans the full length of your Cadillac, from back to front. It’s a very intricate system of moving parts and is comprised of everything after the engine transmission: differentials, driveshafts, joints, axles, and wheels. When you maintain the drivetrain in your 2006 Cadillac Escalade, you help maintain your vehicle's power. You can minimize repairs by following Cadillac's recommendations for checking and changing differential fluids, and lubricating bearings and gears.

When to Get Cadillac Escalade Drivetrain Repairs

You want to come see the technicians at Firestone Complete Auto Care. We can fix many 2006 Cadillac Escalade drivetrain components including the CV axles, joints, and driving shaft. Your Cadillac Escalade may need driveshaft attention if you feel clunks when shifting, vibration as your vehicle accelerates, resistance when turning, or heavy vibrations in your floorboards. It’s difficult to nail down a timeline for drivetrain repair. There’s no expiration date on the system’s pieces and parts. Your driving style and climate can have a lot to do with how the drivetrain system ages. That’s one reason it’s a wise idea to visit Firestone Complete Auto Care at the first sign your Cadillac Escalade doesn’t drive like it used to.
